I got repeated calls from this number, all hang ups on the machine. Today I picked it up and it was a political pollster, the rudest I've ever encountered. After fielding about five minutes of questions the questioning turned incredibly one-sided against a Democratic candidate. When I asked them why the "poll" was biased they just kept talking, and ignored my request to stop.

Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
This number calls us numerous times. We do not pick up. However, they will ring for 12-15 minutes, evidently overriding our call answering service which should kick in after 5 rings. Can anything be done to stop these people from calling us?
